Yes, I get very hot and sweaty, labored breathing, insecure, legs won't move, body siezes up and those tremors cause my hand and arms to flail, a person would think I was having a seizure. I believe it is a seizure. But I manage to stay conscious, last for 1 hr to 1 and a half hour, sometimes I don't get any relief. Then like magic, when the meds get to my brain I am cured. And then in 2 hours here I go again.

I sweat then. Then when I take my pill I go through a roller coaster of side effects. I feel drowsy, cold, nauseated, lightheaded and then very calm and happy. Weird medication. Lol

Me too. I start sweating and have a flushed feeling all over It goes away as soon as sit down for a little while. Saying that I do things slowly and 1 thing at a time. Takes a while but I get it done
I am not sure it’s a wearing off period or not because I have never had any of the problems of some of you.
